Here’s the latest from Wolfgang Gartner.
While everyone seems to be copying the Nicky Romero ‘Toulouse‘ sound (including Romero,) Gartner looks to be sticking to a much stricter electro sound. Not the glitchy, fidget sound that got him popular, but a Deadmau5-inspired electro hybrid.
Kind of hard to explain. It’s just not ‘Toulouse!’
No release information available yet.
PREVIEW: Wolfgang Gartner – Flexx
A new producer dream team has been created with a collaboration from two of the biggest party electro producers, A-Trak and Dillon Francis. The new single features some of the bounciest synths perfectly prepped for the summer, with enough swag that we wouldn’t be surprised to see remakes from rappers and DJs alike.
Check out the video below from prankster Dillon Francis putting on his best A-Trak impersonation, complete with Burberry scarf, Sharpie beard and colored money from north of the border.
Look for the release May 22 on Fool’s Gold and check out @atrak and @DILLONFRANCIS on Twitter for more tomfoolery.
If you aren’t up on your Tyler Sherritt-game, shame on you.
Sherritt is in the class of rising NYC-DJ/producers (along with dBerrie, FareOh and a few others.) He has performed at some of the premiere venues in our area and, globally, has received support from Axwell.
His next, and perhaps biggest performance to date, will be May 24 when he warms up the Pacha NYC crowd for Gregori Klosman. In celebration. Sherritt has released the most acid-y bootleg on the market.
‘Molly Generation’ will gather some ‘ooh/ahh’ attention when heard. A seamless mash up of a couple of the best acid tracks of the last few months will surely be a weapon come show time.
Support the rising Manhattan DJ/producer by following his Soundcloud and liking him on Facebook.

As we previewed a couple of weeks back, Laidback Luke has released his newest rager today exclusively on Beatport through his label, Mixmash Records. Luke has been dropping this banger all over the place, from his set at Ultra to his headlining spot at Anomaly at Terminal 5 last month. Luke brings fellow Dutchman Chuckie along with French popstar darling Martin Solveig for one of the dirtiest house tracks of 2012 thus far.
Luke, who came in 20th in DJ Mag’s top DJ’s of 2011, will be back in New York for Electric Zoo in September, where I’m sure he’ll be dropping this one along with other 2012 releases Speak Up and Trilogy . Most of his summer is booked for shows throughout Europe, with the Zoo being his only East Coast show. See ya then.

PREVIEW: Walden vs. Paper Crows – Our Metal Heartbeats
Gargantuan new track from 20-year old Dutch producer Jaz Von D. ‘Drive’ releasing through Spinnin’ Records is simply evil; a melodic build gradually accelerates into a disgusting amount of white noise, bass, and sirens. If you’re looking for some background on Jaz Von D, he’s had a release on Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings titled ‘Reload‘ as well as remix for Swanky Tunes’ Mixmash single ‘Together‘. Now available for download, pick this one up before you start hearing it in the clubs.

Released yesterday, this under-appreciated track will perhaps get its due credit through an array of remixes.
Above all, Laidback Luke’s thinking tops every other effort. It’ll be hard to drop his drum build up-slash-drop. We’ve been waiting for his since Hardwell previewed it last fall on his radio show.
The Tom Staar & Sam Young Remix is a solid electro production and is surely worth a listen. Michael Woods offers up a psy-progressive mix. The final two, Torqux and Violet Oversoul give us a dub step and chill out remix, respectively.
If all else fails, go with Laidback Luke’s.

ImanoS has a pretty solid collection of mix tapes, featuring guest mixes from big names such as Nicky Romero. Chances are his is a name that you will be seeing, so represent for the North American producers out there!

The day is here people; Horsepower emerges with their debut remix for Sean Paul’s ‘She Doesn’t Mind’. Horsepower consists of Bart B More, RipTide and Tommie Sunshine whose focus appears to be obliterating speakers. Featuring some of the most dynamic sounds you’ll hear all year, the remix is production gold.

The first official Hyperbits release is a remix of Bombs Away featuring Big Nab: “Ridiculous”. The remix package, which was released on Universal Australia/LNG last week, comes equipped with big tracks from Sgt Slick (who remixed Avicii’s “Malo” in 2010) and Kid Kenobi amongst others, but the stand out in the package is definitely Hyperbits’ offering. A solid blend of in-your-face electro and well structured house music, this remix gets BIG in a hurry.
